First new books of 2013 ~ Part 4
Never Let You Go by Emma Carlson Berne
Megan never meant to hurt her
best friend, Anna. She made a mistake, and she’s spent all year trying
to regain Anna’s trust. So when Anna invites her to spend the summer on
her uncle’s farm, Megan is excited…and relieved. The past is finally
behind them. On the farm, Anna quickly falls
for Jordan, a rugged summer-hand. Megan and Jordan have their own spark,
but Megan’s betrayed Anna once before and she’s not about to do it
again. Still, the more time that Megan
and Jordan spend together, the harder it is to deny their chemistry. But
Anna doesn’t like to be ignored—and she doesn’t forgive and forget.
What started out as the perfect summer is about to take a very dark
turn....
